Resolution to Extend the Contract with P.K. Contracting, Inc. for Pavement Marking Maintenance - FY2022 ($445,000.00)
Memorandum
Attached for approval is a resolution to authorize extension of a unit price contract (ITB No. 4631) with P.K. Contracting, Inc., in the amount of up to $445,000.00 for the citywide maintenance of pavement markings.
This project involves replacing pavement markings on streets throughout the City, including markings to delineate traffic and bike lanes, markings at intersections, markings at school and mid-block crossings, those required for traffic calming features, and miscellaneous others.
The City awarded P.K. Contracting, Inc. a contract for pavement marking maintenance in FY2021. This contract provides for a one-year extension for FY2022 by mutual agreement. The City has repeatedly awarded a similar contract to P.K. Contracting, Inc. in numerous prior years. Most often, this contractor is the lone responder to bid solicitations for this type of work. City staff recommends extending this contract for one year.
This contract is a unit price contract, created with the understanding that the actual quantities used in construction will vary. Staff expects work under this contract to begin on or after July 1, 2021, and to be complete by June 30, 2022.
P.K. Contracting, Inc. complies with the City of Ann Arbor Non-Discrimination and Living Wage Ordinances.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding for this work is available in the adopted FY2022 Public Services Area appropriate Operation and Maintenance Budgets. Operationally, these improvements will benefit the safety of patrons using the City’s motorized and non-motorized transportation systems. The availability of funds, and needed pavement marking maintenance and replacement is the basis of the contract amount.
